Brockway Mountain Drive

Reviewed By DYAN55

We’ve been up here before, and it truly does not disappoint. If you go for sunset, arrive early for your spot, bring chairs, snacks, blanket as it can get cold and a camera for sure. We went twice this visit, one early evening and it was a zoo, people looking for spots to park, second visit was mid afternoon on a beautiful, but windy day. We had more time to enjoy without all the people walking around looking for the right picture angle. The mountain has two drives one headed towards Eagle Harbor, one towards Copper Harbor, this one is the cool twisty one and has a great overlook about half way, City of Copper Harbor and beyond, really a gorgeous view, don’t pass this by!

Horseshoe Harbor

Reviewed By Eldereaglewatcher - Chippewa Falls, United States

Drive onto the gravel road at the end of Hwy 41 to get to Horseshoe Harbor. There's a parking area and signage for the 1/2 mile hike to Horseshoe Harbor which is serene and beautiful. If you're a little unsteady on your feet, take hiking poles and wear boots. Otherwise athletic shoes are fine.
